    Should blackdiamond, aka kfacres being allowed back on? POLL - VOTE HERE

    all those usernames were from the same account.  I didn't know it was breaking the rules by changing user name, figured if it was- it wouldn't have been allowed by the system. Another one, let's not forget was 'another lying shorthorn breeder' Fight fire with fire.

    Best Ear Tag Marker?

    still the best. use a different tip, I always start out with the fine, and after awhile, it turns it'self to coarse. Also keep them warm, and shook.  If I'm outside, put in a pocket close to the skin-- seems to work better. I tried a different brand once, wasn't anything better than a sharpie.

    Okotoks and jamie

    since, I'll be gone in less than 24 hours anyways, why hold anything back? I thought the one cow was pretty skinny, and that isn't a picture I would be promoting.. course, if I would quote Jamie correct, maybe it's because she put everything she had into her first calf... cheers

    Theories on backwards and upside down and backwards calves

    maybe shorthorns and clubbies should come backwards---  they slide out so much easier..  triangle, instead of a chunk of wood

    Under a Char-- that is the ideal cross IMO for profit.

    Breeding for longevity

    This is a show cattle website, I thought only show cattle things were discussed.  I could care less about bision, I was comparing them (the conversation) to cattle, show cattle especially.  If you pump a show heifer full of feed, like most do, and don't calver her until later-  is she not...

    Breeding for longevity

    Depends on how much it cost to get there...  Which is what some of us point out time after time....  yet, we get critized.

    Breeding for longevity

    If a cow doesn't calve until she's 4, but lives until she's 11-- what's more profitable- her or one that calves at 20 months and lives until she's 8 or 9???  It takes way more money to grow out out before she calves, than it does after she gets into production.

    Breeding for longevity

    This heard had 10 shipped last summer in the drough b/w 13 and 18 years.  The old girl was a sad day...   Oops, shouldn't have said that... I'm sure they were bred at 12-14 months of age.

    What to do with this calf? Thoughts?

    Just have to know the genetics at hand. In the true linebreeding operations, they can tell you on day 1 if that animal is unique or herd builder status...  Too bad that the crossed up mongrels can't do that.  Personlly, one bull pops into my head as should have been a steer-- was actually...

    I got some words of advice from someone once, I believe it was gonewest... sure wish I could get that PM.. it's saved under my original account... but for some reason, I can't get a moderator to send me a copy.. It explains a lot, and I've followed that advice since it was given to me.. ] The...

    I say enforce the ban. But ban those who poke sticks as well... No, I don't care- do what you want. One person above hit the nail on the head- ;D

    What to do with this calf? Thoughts?

    Knabe, I'm not interested in learning--- but I want to learn about the people. I guess the true cattle evaluators stepped to the plate- the rest couldn't pick a diamond in a pile of ****. Well, I'll go ahead and close the poll.  20 people just cut a bull that has calves on the ground, and...

    bull pic to rip apart

    Update:  Vet just left from Preg checking.. All 10 heifers confirmed preg 35-55 days.  (I turned this bull in the 2nd week of Dec).  Guess, I'll pull him now and give him some grain- his job is done for now... Just to confirm, those are calves to be born 2nd week of Oct (off memory). and the...
